Bad news!
Imperial Palace, Cloud Bearing Palace.
Tang Yue sat under an ancient tree, holding a memorial in his hand. As he read it, a smile appeared on his face from time to time.
It had not been long since he had inherited the throne, only ten days or so. However, with the help of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce, all the major cities had developed considerably. The land was peaceful, and everyone lived in harmony. There were very few conflicts.
According to this trend, the Liuyun Dynasty's national strength would increase exponentially in a few years. There would be more geniuses emerging from all over the country, and the Liuyun Dynasty would completely get rid of its decline.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air came from afar.
Tang Yue looked over and saw a few figures breaking through the air. They were flying high in the sky, and when they arrived, they stopped and then slowly descended from the sky. The raging wind made Tang Yue's heart palpitate.
"Who are you?"
A group of guards immediately appeared and stood in front of Tang Yue. They held weapons in their hands and looked at the figures in the air in surprise.
Those silhouettes landed on the ground and slowly stepped forward. Their cold eyes swept over the surroundings. Finally, one of them looked at Tang Yue.
"You should be the new Emperor of the Liuyun Dynasty, right?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in red with a long sword at his waist. His voice was as cold as the wind, causing the whole world to twist and reveal a dense killing intent.
The power of heaven and earth!
Tang Yue's heart trembled violently. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior Tang Yue, what can I do for you, Senior?"
While speaking, he glanced at the other party resentfully.
There were a total of five people, all of whom were men.
Both of them were middle-aged. One of them was dressed in red while the other was dressed in grey. Their bodies emitted a dense sword Qi. Just a glance from them seemed to be able to affect the world. Their cultivation had reached the Yin Yang Realm.
The three behind them were all young men. Two of them emitted surging Yin Qi, and their cultivation had reached the Ninth Sky of the Earth Spirit Realm. The last one had lost his right arm, but his aura was slow and his body emitted Yang Qi. He was actually at the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
The strength of these five people was extremely terrifying. Any one of them could cause chaos in the Imperial City!
"I am Chang Chixiao, you should recognize me." Said the red-robed middle-aged man coldly. Tang Yue's mind exploded. He bowed deeply and said, "So it's Sword Master Chi Xiao. Please forgive me for not greeting you earlier."
In Wanjian Pavilion, there was a clear hierarchy.
When a martial artist's cultivation reached the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he could become an elder of the Wanjian Pavilion. When his cultivation reached the Yin-Yang Realm, he could call himself a sword master and rule over a dynasty. His status was only below that of the pavilion master.
Sword Master Chixiao was in charge of the Liuyun Dynasty. As a prince, Tang Yue was extremely familiar with Chang Chixiao's name, but he had never seen him before.
"A few days ago, the Wanjian Pavilion issued the Ten Thousand Sword Invitation. Now, why did Sword Master Chi Xiao suddenly come? Also, this middle-aged man in grey should be a Sword Master. Two Sword Masters and three young geniuses. What is this formation for?"
Tang Yue was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask. He kept his head down and didn't dare to make a sound.
"I heard that there was a rebellion in the Liuyun Dynasty. A peerless sword shadow appeared out of nowhere and killed all the rebels. The Liuyun Dynasty returned to peace because of this. Is this true?" Chang Chixiao looked at Tang Yue and asked coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a surging pressure enveloped Tang Yue, making him feel cold all over.
Tang Yue nodded and replied in a low voice, "A while ago, Wu Jing Xue tried to usurp the throne and caused endless slaughter. Fortunately, the leader of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce came and destroyed the Evil Spirit with one sword strike. That was how the rebellion was quelled."
"Wu Jing Xue!"
Hearing this name, the middle-aged man in grey sneered and said, "That shameless person is indeed ambitious. After receiving benefits from the Ancient Star Sect, he must have been hiding in the dark to usurp the throne. However, he died in the end. How sad."
Tang Yue was stunned and asked resentfully, "Lord Sword Master, do you know Wu Jing Xue?"
"Did I allow you to speak?"
Just as he asked, Chang Chixiao shouted coldly, making Tang Yue feel cold in his heart. He quickly shut his mouth and continued to bow.
"Who is the leader of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce that you mentioned? Is he a sword cultivator?" Chang Chixiao paused for a while before continuing to ask. As he spoke, Chang Mingyang, who was behind him, immediately cast a cold gaze.
"The leader of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce is Chu Xingyun. He is the strongest genius of the Liuyun Dynasty. He is seventeen years old and his cultivation has reached the Second Sky of the Earth Spirit. He is indeed a sword cultivator and his swordsmanship is unparalleled."
"Seventeen years old, Second Sky of the Earth Spirit, a sword cultivator." Hearing Tang Yue's reply, Chang Mingyang's face revealed a trace of fanaticism. He stretched out his hand and took out a portrait. He said anxiously, "Is the Chu Xingyun you mentioned this person?"
Tang Yue raised his head and saw a handsome young man in the portrait. He had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and a towering aura. It was Chu Xingyun.
"Looks like I've finally found him!" Seeing Tang Yue fall into silence, Chang Mingyang let out a crazy laugh and said forcefully, "Now, I order you to bring me to this person. Otherwise, the Liuyun Dynasty will cease to exist tomorrow!"
Thump!
Tang Yue was frightened by the terrifying murderous aura. He did not dare to disobey this order. He stood up and secretly gave a look to a guard. Then, he led Chang Chixiao and the rest out of the palace.
At the same time, at the peak of the Qitian Peak.
Chu Xingyun was sparring with Luo Lan. The two figures were constantly flashing. Sword light swept out and green lotuses bloomed. The moment they collided in the air, a strong wind swept out and blew up the fallen leaves.
Bang!
The two figures separated. Luo Lan's feet landed on the ground. She frantically stepped back and panted. The water lotus above her head became unstable. On the other hand, Chu Xingyun held his sword with one hand and looked very calm.
"I lost again." Luo Lan pouted and said to Chu Xingyun angrily, "Big Brother Chu, although you suppressed your cultivation, you have mastered too much of Wu Ling's talent. How can I be your opponent?"
"The amount of Wu Ling's talent does not represent the strength of one's strength. My spirit sword is of the fourth rank and your Nine Star Water Lotus Wu Ling has also evolved to the fourth rank. Whether we win or lose has nothing to do with Wu Ling." Chu Xingyun put away his spirit sword and spoke quite casually.
"Then how did I lose?" Luo Lan asked doubtfully.
"The reasons for strength are extremely complicated. Cultivation, Wu Ling, physique, battle methods, and even the state of the day can affect the final outcome. Your Nine Star Water Lotus is an extremely rare evolved Wu Ling. The more it evolves, the stronger it becomes. It is already considered one of the best amongst the Wu Lings at the same level. The most important reason why you were unable to defeat me was because you lacked battle methods."
Chu Xingyun said patiently, "When I passed the" Green Lotus Martial Manual "to you and had you train hard, the goal was to build a good foundation and allow life force to fill your body. As for the martial arts, you will be able to comprehend its essence when you step into the earth spirit realm."
"I still have to wait until the earth spirit realm?"
Luo Lan's entire body collapsed as she looked at Mowang Gong with her large, watery eyes. She said angrily, "Grandpa Mo, can you teach me a few moves? I don't want to learn the" Green Lotus Martial Manual "anymore."
"The" Green Lotus Martial Manual "was passed down from the Green Lotus Martial Emperor and is a profound and profound martial art. As the saying goes, the green lotus is born and flows endlessly. It is most suitable for your Nine Star Water Lotus Wu Ling. How can my moves compare to the" Green Lotus Martial Manual "?"
Mowang Gong shook his head and laughed oddly. "As long as you train seriously and comprehend the essence of the" Green Lotus Martial Manual ", you should be able to fight with Chu Xingyun when you step into the earth spirit realm and allow the Nine Star Water Lotus Wu Ling to continue advancing."
"The essence of the" Green Lotus Martial Manual "is all forbidden methods. Even if I comprehend them, I won't be able to use them. I think that Grandpa Mo is in cahoots with Big Brother Chu to laugh at me!" Luo Lan snorted a few more times and stomped her leg, instantly causing the surrounding crowd to roar with laughter.
"I'd originally planned on taking you to participate in the selection of the Sword Washing Pool in the Wanjian Pavilion and enter the Wanjian Pavilion to train together. Since you think I'm laughing at you, then this matter …"
Chu Xingyun raised his voice a few octaves, causing Luo Lan's eyes to light up. She hurriedly ran over and blinked her large eyes as she chuckled, "Big Brother Chu, I was just joking with you just now, please don't take it to heart. You said that you'd take me to the Wanjian Pavilion to train just now, so I agree to this matter. When do we depart?"
The crowd's laughter became even louder after she'd finished speaking. They'd all been amused by Luo Lan's appearance.
Luo Lan was too cute, she was the apple of everyone's eye.
Chu Xingyun also laughed a few times and responded, "In a few days. We'll depart after we've taken care of the matters of the Qitian Peak."
"That's great!"
Luo Lan was so happy that she jumped up. She stretched out her small hand and hooked her pinky finger, saying loudly, "This matter is settled then. Let's pinky swear, we can't go back on our word."
Chu Xingyun shook his head helplessly and also stuck out his pinky finger.
Just as he'd said earlier, the current Luo Lan already possessed a certain level of cultivation foundation. It was also time for her to come into contact with a wider world. Only then could she truly grow up and become a powerhouse.
And the Wanjian Pavilion was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Something bad has happened!"
At this moment, a loud voice was heard, breaking the harmonious scene of the Qitian Peak.
A palace guard ran over frantically from not far away. When he arrived in front of Chu Xingyun and the others, he was already panting and his face was pale. He said in a panic, "Chairman Chu, someone, someone is looking for your whereabouts!"
"What happened? Don't panic, tell me in detail." Chu Xingyun quickly stepped forward. Tiger Chu and the others also heard this voice and hurried over.
The palace guard took a deep breath and paused for a moment before continuing, "Today, the Wanjian Pavilion's Sword Master Chi Xiao suddenly arrived. He brought a group of people directly to the palace and repeatedly asked about your whereabouts. At this moment, they've taken the emperor hostage and are on their way to the Qitian Peak. The emperor felt that something was wrong and sent me to report to you. It's best that you stay away until the storm dies down."
Whoosh!
Just as the guard finished speaking, a low sword hum was suddenly heard. The sword light pierced through the air and directly cut off his head. His vitality completely dissipated, and he fell to the ground.
"Ants will always be ants. You talk too much nonsense."
A cold voice filled with disdain rang out without any warning.
